The Product One of many perks of being affiliated with a Mexican cartel is direct access to some of the most pure narcotics on the planet; one in particular that tends to stand out though, in terms of popularity and profitability is cocaine. In a recent DEA drug threat assessment, it was released that Mexican drug cartels are able to maintain a major trafficking footprint in the United States; this is done through proxy groups such as ours. The Plug A small unmarked Cessna lands at an undisclosed location in the San Andreas desert, equipped with several suitcases loaded with signature marked bricks of cocaine from our suppliers in Mexico. Met by one of our overseers, we would spend the afternoon discussing business and unloading the suitcases, eventually carefully transporting them back to the city of Los Santos. Once back in the city, the two men in charge of the drop would meet up up and discuss their plans on how to move the product to an up and coming local street gang, looking to branch out. The Drop As the sun set, the call went out; the product is packaged, and ready to deliver to the buyer. Details were discussed, and terms agreed upon for the keys, both would send out small groups to finalize the deal. The Zetas would be waiting at an undisclosed location, soon met by the local street gang. Some small chat would be made, but the situation would be fairly direct, closing the deal out and creating further relations between the two groups, ultimately making a hefty sum of money for the Los Zetas.

Los Zantos 247 One of the more recent acquisitions for the Zetas, a 247 supermarket, located behind Los Santos Bank; now one of the primary hot spots for Zetas to hang out at, and mingle with potential prospects. A common ground for civilians and criminals alike to interact safely, it has become a normal place for socializing, networking and at times other various activities. One of the many legal ventures of the Zetas, Los Zantos 247 strives to stay on top of the convenience store game, by ensuring a wide variety of goods, always conveniently stocked at reasonable prices and always ensuring the newest products are stocked in a timely fashion. Business is booming for the Zetas more than ever and with the ability to turn dirty money into clean legal cash, the organization needed to make sure this new venture would become a popular hit. Equipped with arguably the best radio station in town, populated with colorful personalities, on top of being in a great location; Los Zantos 247 would succeed in bringing in consistent business from all sides of the playing field and aims to reach even higher. Of course, with a Cartel running the show, shady money will always be involved in creating something so pure. The 247 is not only a means to give you product at a convenience, at times it also serves as a front for more illicit business. The alleyways and back of the store being used as a means to commonly conduct illegal business in a private and efficient manner, with no trespassing signs and armed security surrounding the area in times of need. This area serves as a perfect means to collect outside income, perform shake downs, roll dice and exchange illicit goods, convenience indeed.

+1 very cool idea.

If you think standing with us at the store constitutes as diplomacy, you would be sorely mistaken. To clarify, Los Zetas has never been okay with robbing your average civilian, or looking for targets without merit; many of the people who couldn't adapt to our ideals have long been removed, or faded away. A gang can always attempt to import for profit; we sold more weapons than most when we had zero access to a warehouse in the past. A gang can establish social events, and show they are about more than just ruthlessly killing, and robbing for sport. Yes, we have implemented a criminal authority as several of the strongest, and longest standing groups. It works, and allows gangs to grow without concern of our presence, and allows us to maintain a balance in which we think is fair, and reasonable. I mention using diplomacy multiple times, but you seem to be unable grasp the word at all, and perhaps that is why you're in the position you are. We too started out small, and played our position and grew, same as Triads, and every other long-term gang here. You guys wanted to prove you weren't equal to the rest, and ultimately have been shown that just isn't the case. I think this sorta explains your mentality in itself, because yes, that's exactly what I expect, and it's what we have put in practice to help accomplish our goals.

I am 100% correct if you think "being" on top is my major goal, and that I would be uncomfortable changing, and putting that at risk, it's been at risk numerous times. We let you operate for almost 2 months, without any bother to see how you would do and I'm sorry man, but your group ran around robbing civvies and killing cops all day, you guys have outright said you're a "rebel" group; well this is what happens to those who rebel against criminal authority.

| This is how The Triads and Los Zetas started. Through diplomacy, and RP we have become quite good friends, and they are now one of the strongest gangs in the city. Perhaps when gangs learn how to be diplomatic, versus mindlessly shooting people all day, they will also grow into large organizations as some that exist on the server today.

There is some major ignorance on your part; Both "The Wanted" & "The Rooks" exist, with massive numbers, and we have zero issues among st each other due to arrangements created between the two groups. Taking things out of context, and trying to address a problem that doesn't really exist, from the entire opposite side of the spectrum is confusing, to say the least. The entire city has tried, it didn't work out that way. We have not been the majority, and still come out on top.

yes, you caught us, PD is Zeta's true ally!

+1 if possible.

Great thread, but you in our HQ!

nvm.

Can you help me understand what "RP" situation was ruined, because you weren't able to take their weapon? Am a bit confused, tbh.

-1. Giving people reason to hunt PD should never be a welcomed change.

looks very cool, great post. good luck with this!

+1 with the weight changes; i believe vehicles and houses require scaling as we are basically stuck being unable to use our houses, or "deleting" tons of old stuff, to be able to use our stashes properly.

If you feel harassed, you should reach out, or create a complaint to get the behavior rectified. I'm not sure how much can be done to control this behavior 100%, as I think that is explained by others in the thread. There are hundreds of people to interact with, try to avoid those who give you a hard time or make your experiences poor.

perhaps you should make that clear to them as well.

Where did she say criminals at all? The bias is unreal here. Are you guys under the impression that no one but criminals act creepy? If so, it shows how really out of touch you are with seeing social behavior on this server.

+1

now you're gonna bring up me clarifying something with you in DM's? Reefer, is this really who you are on a human level? My facts are not inconsistent, I've played crim with my group since I've started, we've all felt it. I'd appreciate if you were a bit more professional on a public platform.

Yeah, if you say so. You either need to witness the negative action yourself, by HC; or an IA report needs to be written, as I mentioned. Countless actions are swept under the rug, or lost in translation because of the effort it requires for you guys to see it from our point of view. It's nice to see how objectively you see this, as you are turning this into a "hey you official factions are worse than us every time", glad to see how mature we can be at the top.

There would also be FBI probings and officers being fired left and right for questionable behavior. You guy's are not angels by ANY means. This actually happened in my city well I was growing up: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-oct-01-me-burbank-police1-story.html There is nothing to keep police officers in check past the "IA" system, which I can say I've personally have never written, even though I've dealt with these problems. At the end of the day officers words always trump a "criminals" on an IC level, and for me personally.. that's enough to deter me from trusting officers on any real level.

Na don't be sorry, just work on your nerve fella. You're supposed to be an officer of the law, pissing yourself because some asks "is this for sale" was just very confusing to us. Also, we saw a lot of illegal contraband in there, perhaps you should have your other officers investigate?
